The Corporate Athlete

When sports medicine expert Jack L. Groppel heard former Wimbledon tennis champion Stan Smith explain how his sports training prepared him for the business world, Groppel realized he could use his coaching skills to help individuals perform better in their careers and their lives. Groppels advice will alter how you look at habits and your work. Groppel, writing with business author Bob Andelman, teaches you how to maintain your energy level, how to handle and recover from stress, and how to value each day. He also provides worksheets you can use if you decide to follow his 21-day change and improvement program. getAbstract recommends Groppel’s knowledge to anyone seeking peak performance at work and at home.
